Am I the only one that noticed a major change to Graviton beam ability for Phoenix?
The Phoenix is "frozen" the whole duration of the ability even if the target is eliminated...
Have it been like this for long or is this a "new" thing by Blizzard or (hopefully) a bug? It don't seem cost effective with Graviton Beam harass anymore if it stays like this, I mean there's no problem to get some AA unit to take out the "frozen" Phoenix... I'm not willing to trade 1-2 Phoenix every time I use them...

Maybe they inadvertently caused a new bug while fixing the old 50 energy bug.

Just tested, not frozen for me...
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. I assume its a bug. For now you can manually cancel with esc if need be.

Lol, blizzard releasing a bugfix patch, which is generating next bugs. And this is after everybody yell at them for not testing their patches (ultras splash).
Seems they not listened. Seriously, how much worktime it requires to test a change on number of scenarios?

Had this issue in two games. ****** up my phoenix harassment a few times. Blizzard has chosen the wrong field... oh no wait ... in the computer gaming industry they can't hurt anyone directly. Thumbs up, Blizzard!

Seems like there's more problems post beta than in beta. At least the server uptime has been good. I had my doubts about that.

What's wrong with you Blizzard?
You used to be so solid, but fucking nearly _EVERYTHING_ up with sc2.
Chatchannels, Lan, Crossrealm Play, Custom Games, Bnet2.0 overall,
time by time bug patches and others fails.

START WORKING PROPERLY, IF I WOULD DO THIS IN MY JOB, HELL I WOULDN'T HAVE ONE BY NOW IF I WOULD WORK LIKE THIS.

Getting really mad about Blizzard after last couple of months.

When Blizzard fix this hopefully at the same time they can look at the air upgrades and make it do a proper +1/+1 instead of +1/+0. Been +1/+0 only helps Terran (marines, hellions and SCVs), which is pretty lame if you ask me.

I can dream, right?

I've tried a unit testing map and it seems to happen every time, unit dies but phoenix keeps channeling graviton beam.

Actually, its true, it stays frozen even if the unit is killed. BUT you didn't see you can actually press escape to cancel the graviton beam, in every circumstances. If you are lifting a unit, you can press escape and run away anytime, which is really kick-ass.

I don't know ANY COMPANIES that can fix bugs without introducing new ones.

Blizzard's programmers are so incompetent. Do they double check any of their work?

I mean, they had splash radii inverted for months for pete's sake, this is getting ridiculous.
